Newspapers frequently posted the casualties that were from their area.

Online copies of the daily lists compiled into weekly series are available from 30 July 1917 onward through the National Library of Scotland. Probably the best place to start looking if you know your casualty was after this date, before this date newspaper lists are probably your best bet.
